Lovin' our new Stampin' Up catalog!

It’s been a busy week! My first Friday club started off the month and we made 2 fun cards using the products from Stampin’ Up 2024-2025 annual catalog!

It’s a great time to venture out and see what one of my card clubs is all about! I usually keep the club cards only for those memebers….this is a platform I use to teach new techniques and fun folds. You go home with 2 great cards and a picture tutorial.

Come check it out! Here is a sneak peek of this month’s club cards

It’s always an exciting time when Stampin’ Up offers a special on joining out Stampin’ Up family! I have enjoyed being Stampin’ Up demonstrator for a lot of reasons! Mostly for the friends I’ve made and relationships nurtured over the years also for continuing to learn and keep my mind challenged with new techniques and folds. There is another great reason for joining….for the discount on your direct purchases as a demonstrator! Or you can take it up a step and start your own business.

Please refer back to last weeks post for a list of the incentives I’m offering for new friends invited and attending one of my events!!! This month is to pick out of my product basket and I can tell you there are quite a few Take Your Pick tools if you are wanting a new one!

This week:

  • Tuesday, May 7 Spartanburg club; Judy P. is our hostess

  • Friday, May 10th Arbors West club; Melody is our hostess

Next week:

Reach out to me if you have questions. I’m available to explain how it all works. You’ll also get to come to our team meetings.

The next one will be May 25th. At this next team meeting, we’ll learn a few special folds and tecniques. Those doing swaps….please choose your favorite current product to use. I would encourage to make 15 if you can, but not a requirement at all. It’s more important for you to come than to stress over getting 15 swap cards. The May meeting will be at my home and then the July meeting, we’ll plan on having at the Sr. Center in Dallas.

Thanks for visiting!

Adventurous Sky scrapbook spread

Take To The Sky Suite has been so fun to use! This month we started to create a travel spread….but I really think any adventure or exploration opportunity will fit on this spread. And we used some of the 12 x 12 Take To The Sky DSP on the next spread using the Hot Air Ballon

Adventurous Sky Bundle #163447

The word “love” is a retired Stampin’ Up die I have, being pulled by the die cut plane in Adventurous Sky Die set. It is so easy to use!

You can see we used some clouds from Adventurous Sky stamp set and then added a couple of planes stamped in Memento ink and used Copper Clay and Lt. Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends to color in and then die cut to attach to pages.

The ribbon is colored with a dark Copper Clay Stampin’ Blend and then when completely dry, we attached with Tombo Adhesive….the Industrial Trinkets that come with Take To The Sky suite #163832. Click on picture to enlarge.

Our next spread is one of encouragement! It uses the Bundle Hot Air Ballon….and remember, I said we used some of the Take To the Sky Designer Series Paper…..that pretty fluffy white cloud paper is from Take To The Sky DSP.

Each month, I host scrapbooking usually on a Saturday evening. You are invited to come and make two 2-pages spreads for $20. RSVP Next opportunity will be May 18th @ 4:00PM
